Markface's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[the warrior]

I liked this

I see quite a few introductions to animations on this site, most are shit. But this was good. The animation/visuals were decent, the sound was quite nice... but the real thing that stood out was the humor. You really thought some of the jokes through, and for that it paid off.

Good job!

Could of been better

It may be because I've seen alot of skate movies on this site, but this wasnt up to par. The animation was blocky at times, the frame by frame was unrealistic and it was far to short to change my decision on what I had seen prior.

Im aware that this was your first animation, and yes this is much better than most peoples first's, but you could of put MORE effort into it, especially if your going to post it onto this site.

[What Can Be Changed]

Unsurpasing Moral

This was brilliant. A unique refreshing implement of flash art and storytelling is so hard to come by, this is an example.

The art was great, the style was dark... creepy and exciting, mixed with the good soundtrack and decent voice acting, it made something rememberable.

Good job.

[A moment of violence]

Decent

This animation was a half good, half not-so-good. The graphics were not that great, dont get that confused with the animation (I'll explain that in a second). The graphics, well they were just circles, the guns looked traced and there was no real enviorment. The animation on the other hand was nice, it was very fluent, very smooth and in conjuction with the violence it was good. Alot of nice pans and zooms to go with it too.

The only real problem with the animation was it was pratically all Motion Tweens, dont get me wrong, the way you showed them in this flash is as if you've mastered them. But really put some effort into some frame by frame and you could be getting a much higher score... it would make this flash look more clean and alot more exciting than a little circle going nuts.

The song was good, but im not really basing the score around what music you choose for a random killing. The style of the animation was nothing new, something just goes nuts and kills everything, meets a big bad guy... alot of mess... madness holds copyright on it pratically.

I liked the bloodsplatters, they were decent at times. But I think with your style of direction and effort in your animation that you could go for something more than just a circle making some kills for no reason. Think of a storyline, a good one and try to tell us something and excite us.

Best of luck.

[Big Knight Short Preview]

Just a warning

If your going to make a serious animation. The graphics need to be brilliant. Comedies can top the weekly charts with visuals that are barely above par because they are incredibly funny.

But they wont be looking at comedy your turn round, only your storyline... and your animation. So you best have an amazing twist or amazing graphics locked up somewhere.

The idea, looks good. It looks decent, and if nursed well and thought out to its full potential then you could deliver something very nice. On the other hand, if not enough thought goes into it... it may just end out shit.

This preview was nice, it wasnt just a couple of seconds long and barely telling us about what the flash will be about. It was informative, and almost exciting. The only problem, if you havent heard already by EVERYONE, is the fact it has no sound.

Anyway, best of luck with the release of the real thing.

[The Red Line]

Nice Collab

This was interesting. A unique and stylish way to showcase a group of interesting art in a collaberation.

Good work everyone, great pictures!
